I noticed they have crossed out "Glass" on the recycling bins that before took glass in the same bin as the cans. Does anyone know why Walton County is no longer recycling glass? I would think with restaurant businesses here that would be their main recyclable. I can go almost anywhere in the world and glass is being recycled it doesn't make any sense. My daughter lives in Daphne AL and they recycle / sort brown glass, green glass, clear glass.​

They stopped awhile ago. Something about having to find a new contractor to handle glass. It was long ago enough that it should have been done by now. Anyone know if it was done?

I don't even know what to say about Walton County non-existent recycling efforts in the year 2015.

Glass recycling has existed since Lassie was a puppy for gosh sakes! I quit recycling anything since glass was 80% of what I recycled!

Yeah we are going to recycle like it's 1999 (more like 1899).

One problem is that a lot of people aren't interested in recycling. In the recycling bin I've used, people used to dump their garbage in. It needs to be a cooperative effort. And I don't think Walton county's elected officials have any interest in recycling.
